Tulum pairs a clifftop Mayan ruin above turquoise water with jungle cenotes (freshwater sinkholes), a long beach strip, and easy access to the Riviera Maya. It’s gone upscale-bohemian and pricey, but the swimming holes and the ruins still deliver.

Staying on the beach strip and renting a car — it’s a single congested road with scarce parking; many people are happier in town with bikes and taxis.
Peak-season beach-club minimums if you’re on a budget — the cenotes and ruins are the real magic and cost a fraction.
November–March is dry and warm; sargassum seaweed can blanket the beaches roughly May–August, and September–October is the wettest, peak-hurricane stretch.
Munduva is free for your whole group — pick the dates together, build the plan, and split the costs.
